MASTERLIST
“Morning angel”
Your body froze and you felt your spine go cold at his words. There was only one other person who has called you that.
“Angel? No he can’t be serious….it must have been a mistake surely?”
Feeling Noah move more behind you, his arm tightened around your waist, no doubt feeling your tense body.
“Everything ok?”
You turned to look at him with a small smile, trying hard to relax your muscles down.
“Yeah, I’m good, are you ok?”
Noah stared into your eyes and gave you a cheeky smirk back.
“Well this is definitely one of the better ways I’ve woken up recently”
You were then suddenly very aware that you were both still naked under the blanket so you sat yourself up holding it to your chest.
“There’s no way it’s Noah, it can’t be”
“Yeah, it’s ahh…different to normal. Although seeing as it’s now gone 7, I better start getting ready”
Noah cocked his head to the side with his brows knitted together with a frown on his lips as he continued to stare at you.
“You sure you’re ok?”
You put a big smile on your face and leant in to kiss him which he instantly returned.
“Yeah, just nervous to give my statement….and have my ass handed to me over going in alone yesterday, it was pretty stupid. I’m going to jump in the shower so…I’ll see you at work?”
Noah gave you a small smile and nodded his head.
“Of course, I’ve got to go back to mine before work anyways”
You stood up, still holding the blanket to your body and averted your eyes as Noah simply stood up completely naked with a smirk on his face.
“Don’t get all shy now babe, last night was just a taster of what’s to come”
Despite the uneasy feeling in your stomach, you felt your cheeks go warm at his statement. You waited while Noah got himself dressed and picked up his things before he turned back to you and pressed another kiss onto your lips.
“I’ll be seeing you later”
••••••
After getting yourself ready, you made the drive to work, your mind in overdrive the whole way.
“He’s never called me angel before, why today? He can’t be the killer….there’s no way!”
*
“You know, I’m really impressed that you figured this out, that they were all connected, I doubt anyone would have seen that”
“Are you religious at all detective?”
“I understand that. My family were religious but I never took to it, as you said, I believe in what I can see, hear, smell….touch. Somethings I don’t think god would approve of”
*
Parked up at the station, you took a moment to breathe in your car away from everyone, the tension from this morning still very much present in your shoulders.
“He was raised with a religious background but doesn’t believe it as an adult…why?”
*
“Similar in a way, I was in a car accident with my dad when I was eleven, I only had minor injuries but my dad….he passed away on the scene. The driver that hit us was never caught. I wanted to come into the force to make sure justice was done correctly, for my dad”
*
“His father…that’s when he stopped believing”
You took one more deep breath before you grab your bag and got out of the car to head into the station.
You made your way quickly down the hall, not in the mood to talk to anyone when you heard sergeant Matthews calling out your name.
“Detective Y/L/N. My office please”
Stopping in your tracks, you braced yourself and turned to go into his office.
You stood in front of his desk with your fingers fiddling with each other subtly, waiting for the absolute bollocking you knew was coming.
“Look sir, I know yesterday was bad…”
“Save it Detective”
He let out a frustrated sigh.
“You have been a crucial member of this team for a long time, you certainly know better than to charge into a potentially hostile environment with no back up! What the hell were you thinking?!”
You looked at the desk in front of you before slowly bringing your eyes up to his disappointed gaze.
“I don’t know….I guess I just wasn’t thinking, I just…”
“You’re damn right you weren’t thinking! You could have got yourself killed or others if they had to do a rescue mission to save your ass!”
Sergeant Matthews took another deep breath, clearly thinking of his next words.
“I know this case has taken its toll on you detective, the brutality of it alone has been nothing like we have ever seen. It’s clear to everyone in this office that it’s affected you mentally…but I cannot ignore such a blatant disregard to follow simple orders, not when it endangers the live’s of others….I’m taking you off the case, your gun has already been retrieved from the crime scene and I’d like you to hand over your badge”
Your head snapped up.
“You can’t do that!”
His gaze was firm.
“I just did”
“But sir you don’t understand!”
Sergeant Matthews stood up tall while resting his hands on his desk.
“Enough! My decision is final, you are off the case for good, I don’t want you to have anything to do with it, is that clear?!”
“But I think I….”
“IS THAT CLEAR?”
Tears brimmed your eyes as you nodded in defeat, a feeling of complete sorrow flooding your body.
“Yes sir”
You took your badge from your jacket pocket and put it on the desk in front of him.
“Take some time off detective, clear your head…properly. Then we shall discuss you coming back in the future”
You nodded in silence and walked out quietly, you glanced around the team to see that Noah was nowhere to be found.
•••••••

“Yes. There is no way a woman would be able to pull this off alone, she would need help and I just have a feeling this is done by one person, a man. An incredibly strong man I might add”
“Nothing yet I’m afraid, who ever this guy is, he certainly knows how to cover himself, but it’s early days…”
*
You had made it back to your apartment, still in shock that you’d been removed from the case, glancing at your laptop in your bag, you wondered if they had restricted your access yet.
“Worth a shot”
You sat down at the desk in your home office and opened up your login, to your surprise it worked! You knew it wouldn’t be long though so you decided to act fast and start copying the files onto a memory card, no way were you completely done with this case.
“I’m missing something I know I am….the victims are all so different but something must connect them surely?”
*
“What are you doing here? How do you even know where I live?”
“Sorry I got your address from your file…”
*
“File…”
It suddenly clicked in your mind to check the police records for all of the victims names, to see if they were on file.
You went through each name one by one in the police database, each time finding out that each of the victims in the case had all been arrested at some point in their lives.
*
•Nina Platt - rape allegations
•Oliver Wicks - petty theft
•The married couple - possession of drugs
•The twins - arrested for fighting when they were younger
•Geoff Birch - known con man
•And the two people having the affair had also been arrested in their past for petty crimes
*
“So that’s how he done it…he used his access to search for their fingerprints to find them and see their history”
*
“All I’m saying is that clearly detective Y/L/N isn’t up for the job, have you seen her recently? She looks like she’s not slept in weeks and isn’t making the right decisions. If I had her position, I’d be doing things so differently, maybe then we’d actually be getting somewhere in this case”
“Do you like my little gift for you angel?”
“How did you even know about him?”
“I have my ways.”
*
You felt sick to your stomach as it really started to dawn on you what was happening.
Each one of the victims had been found on the database…office Blake….was first hand, an impulsive decision on his part.
You felt your breathing increase as you started to piece it all together in your mind.
*ding*
The sound of an email coming through pulled you out of your thoughts, you went into your work email and saw it was one of your officers, they’d sent a link to another case file.
*
“I’ve been thinking that we need to widen our search, who’s to say that the killings started in LA? For all we know, this guy could have moved around, killed before but has never been caught…”
*
Your eyes scanned over the email, taking his the new information…
•Anthony Jackson
•Male
•53 year old
•Found dead in his own apartment slumped at the dinner table, his heart had been removed and was placed in front of the body.
•Resided in Richmond, Virginia US
*
“Detective Noah Davis. New to station within the last month but had an excellent recommendation from his old station in Richmond, Virginia…”
*
“Why this guy? Who was he to you?”
That sickness feeling was manifesting into a very physical thump in your throat, your body was getting warmer and you felt the need for a very strong drink.
*
“How else do you get the message across?”
“And what is the message?”
“To dethrone god”
*
Your head fell into your hands as the realisation hit, you shut your eyes and tried to control your breathing again, your partner on the case, the man you’d come to find a true comfort and a friend. He was the 10 commandments killer.
“What’s the matter detective? Found anything interesting?”
You jumped up at the sound of Noah’s voice to see him standing in the doorway, leaning up against it casually.
Your heart pounded inside your chest, you had to remain calm so you tried to keep your expression neutral.
“Noah…how did you get in here?”
You noticed his appearance was very casual, black long sleeved turtleneck top, black trousers and he had on a pair of black leather gloves.
“The door was unlocked. You really should be more careful, no idea who could be lurking about”
You forced a smile as he stared at you, not once faltering in his gaze.
“It’s been a mad day…I obviously wasn’t paying attention”
You subtly, slowly and instinctively went to reach for your gun on your hip, for your fingers to find nothing.
“Shit! My spare is in my bedroom”
Noah’s eyes had followed your movements, a small smirk starting to form on his lips as he uncrossed his arms and stood up fully.
“What’s the matter, you look nervous?”
You started to slowly step around your desk, trying desperately to think of away around him to get to your room.
“Nervous….why would I be nervous?”
Noah laughed.
“Oh come now detective, don’t let me down now. My little slip up this morning was very…unfortunate”
You stared back into his eyes, no doubt in your mind that he knew, you now knew.
“Although it wasn’t part of the plan yet, here we are…a very….tricky situation”
His words sounded completely menacing as he took another step closer.
“Stay away from me….I know who you are….and you’re not going to get away with this”
Noah laughed once more.
“Oh yeah? And how are you going to stop me?”
Noah suddenly lunged at you, you tried your hardest to dodge him and to get out of his grip but it was too late, Noah’s hand had brought a sweet, chemical smelling cloth to cover your mouth and nose and you knew it was over as you felt your body becoming weaker as you breathed it in.
“Shhhh I’ve got you angel”
You tried to stay awake, but your attempts to fight back slowly came to a stop as your body became limp and your vision went black.
